The exhibited works involve artistic research in an interdisciplinary manner that deals with the politics of forgetting, manipulating memory depending on current political and ideological needs. In addition to referring to the present, they are consequently related to notions experienced through narratives, memories, artifacts, and documents - historical testimonies of the past. The focus of the artistic research is the lost modernist heritage erased as a result of the expansion of Skopje 2014, a governmental project that reflects the nationalistic, authoritarian regime, populism, and hegemony.
